Slaying the Innocent
Katie, recounted her abortion more than 15 years ago, that is still haunting her to this day. She went alone to the doctor which confirmed her pregnancy. The gynecologist advised that if she waited more than 2 weeks, it would be hard for her to find a doctor to do the abortion. She waited the 2 weeks for the abortion and little did she know in that time she was falling in love with her unborn child, feeling him or her inside of her. They gave her two pills for the first part of the abortion. Once she took it she felt that unborn child die. In that moment, she came to the realization of what she was doing. She hated herself for becoming a murderer. The abortion battle is one of the most deep-rooted in US culture. Each year about one and a half million women in the US have abortions. Some may pass through the lines of anti-abortion protesters to get into the clinic. Others may have to make their way through secrecy to get an abortion, but they do. Things, however, don't end so neatly right there. Even though some believe that a woman should be given a right to choose abortion, it is ending an innocent child's life, it is morally wrong and the long term psychological effects it may cause can be detrimental.
Any respectable medical textbook will explain that life begins at the exact moment of conception, which further declares the beginning of life is as soon as the egg is fertilized inside of the mother. Though pro-choicers say that life only begins after
More than fifty percent of women have regret after abortion. The majority of women who have abortions are depressed for years and years after the abortion. Studies show woman who have abortions are six to seven times more likely to commit suicide (Terzo). On many separate occasions women have reported having dreams about the child they aborted over and over and over again. Doctors at abortion clinics are misleading young scared pregnant woman and convincing them to have abortions. Some women are not warned about the emotional trauma that is in store from hem shortly following the termination of their child. Many women have shared that the doctors who performed their abortion ensured them this child was just a blob of tissue and it was no big deal that they were paying someone to murder their unborn
The process of intentionally ending a pregnancy is called an abortion. This highly controversial topic has sparked a fierce on-going debate throughout the United States politics do to people’s scientific, ethical, and social beliefs. The issue with discussing abortion is that both viewpoints American citizens have, contain indirect oppositions. Those in favor of abortion hold beliefs of freedom whereas those against it stand by their moral and religious beliefs. Even though both sides of abortion have tremendously diverse perspectives, it is hard to deny that both stances hold reasonable and convincing explanations to support their position. With that being said, there are two sides in the debate of abortion: pro-life and pro-choice. To be against abortion means to be pro-life. Those who are pro-life believe that the fetus is biologically a human therefore it is murder, the fetus feels pain, it is against religious beliefs, adoption is available, and contraceptives are accessible therefore actions come with consequences.

One of the most constant battles our society faces is the issue of abortion. It is a controversial issue that continues to create tension and diversion among our culture. But what makes abortion such an emotional and personal conflict? Often time people aren’t fully aware of what takes place in the process of aborting a fetus. Let’s take a look at what abortion is and what makes it so controversial. By understanding what an abortion is and the different viewpoints of society, one will acquire a better idea of where they stand on this issue and how it can be relevant in one’s life.
Abortion is the deliberate killing of the weakest and most defenseless among us all. Many people are fervent supporters of abortion. Unfortunately over the past few years, this issue has been raised as a right for women to have. Approximately 40-50 million abortions in the world are made a year, roughly estimated to 125,000 abortions per day. Many women feel that they should have the right to decide whether they should have the baby or not, many reasons such as being too young, not ready to be a mother or simply because they just don’t want one at that time. Women know the risks they go through when becoming intimate with a man, such as being pregnant. Why should you end another person’s life based on
The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy, also known as an abortion, is a major controversy. This controversy has a very long history and is still being discussed everywhere, to this day. At current rates, the average woman will have an abortion by the time she is 45. Here are some National statistics; 58% of women that get abortions are in their 20’s; 61% have one or more children; 85% are unmarried; 69% are economically disadvantaged; and 73% report a religious affiliation. Some people claim to know the consequences of having an abortion and I agree with the some of the views of the people who are against abortions have but, I believe that an abortion is still the choice of the person(s) that is involved and non-other. Therefore, I am not against abortion.
When making a decision, no matter how big or small there are many personal effects to think about, especially when it comes to the life of another human. Abortion has become common in the United States, as well as other places. In 2014, 977,000 abortions occurred in the United States alone. Although this number has decreased since 2011 when the number was 1.06 million abortions, it is still too high (U.S.). Women are getting abortions without considering the very real aspect that they are taking a human life, endangering themselves in the process, and that there are various other options.
Abortion has always been an incredibly controversial topic. It has been one of the most widely discussed issues in the American culture for decades. Abortion is a discussion of human interaction, in which emotions, ethics, and law all come together. In many cases, people on both sides of the argument have valid points and take moral positions. A pro-choice position would assert that the decision to terminate a pregnancy lies the mother and that the government has no right to interfere or step in and make that decision. On the other hand, the position of pro-life advocates argue that life begins at the moment of conception. They believe that because the embryo or fetus is a human life and that one has no moral right to abort it. This theory argues that this human has no power or say in the matter and is rendered helpless from advocating for itself. Although abortion is a morally and emotionally charged issues, it is ultimately protected under the 14th amendment. The most common reasons for abortion include but are not limited to, teen pregnancy, rape, and health issues.
In the United States alone, there are over one million abortions performed every year. This means that nearly one in four pregnancies end in abortion, and one in three women have had an abortion by the time they turn forty five. As these women decided to have an abortion to end the life of their unborn child, they selfishly chose their own comfort over someone else’s own life. The truth is, every abortion ends the life of an innocent human being.
Abortion is the termination of a human pregnancy. “More than 60% of the world’s population lives in countries where induced abortion is permitted either for a wide range of reasons or without restriction as to the reason. In contrast, 26% of all people reside in countries where abortion is generally prohibited.” as stated by The World’s Abortion Laws Map. Abortion is appalling and should be outlawed. Not only is it the excretion of a fetus, what a baby has developed from, from the uterus by natural causes, but you are killing a living organism! A woman is letting someone rip that baby from her body before it has even been able to survive independently and quite frankly, I’m torn. The internet claims abortion is fine and should be
Abortion is a life or death matter that has two polar aspects with no grounds of agreement. It refers to terminating a pregnancy before it is ready for birth due to underlying reasons. These reasons typically fall into the categories of financial struggle, rape victims, underage, or unexpecting mothers. The Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v Wade declared that it is a crime for a woman to get an abortion and that it violates her due process rights. A stakeholder known as “Planned Parenthood” is an organization whose main objective is to defend the fight for women’s safe access to legal abortion care. While there are doctors that refuse to perform abortions, Planned Parenthood ensures and defends woman’s fundamental human right of choosing abortion. “Planned Parenthood” desires to remind women everywhere that a woman can never be equal if her basic right of making a decision for herself is denied. They endorsed this notion by creating advertisement of protests through the use of rhetorical appeals such as ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos, where they are able to show people their on going fight against anti-choice politicians and activists.
Each and every day all around the world, half of the women population are aborting an innocent human being. Why ? you ask, well I wonder too! Abortion is a termination of human pregnancy, mostly done the first 28weeks. It is and sensitive subject to some people while others have their pros and cons among this topic. The fetus is still considered an human being just like the mother/carrier of it. Everyone has a choice to keep a baby or to get rid of the baby, we all should know what we are willing to get ourselves into and the causes of it which leads to getting pregnant. I agree that there are many good points on why abortion is an good thing and a bad thing. The good deeds of having an abortion is that a woman should only abort a child if the baby is suffering , the carrier has been raped , abused, she no longers wants to carry her rapist/abuser child, also if the mother can not take care of the baby financially, and ONLY if the baby has not grown over a certain amount of weeks and develops a part of its body. The cons of abortion is aborting a child that didn’t ask to come into the world, aborting it because it was an mistake or because you just don’t want it. I believe that there any many valid ways to prevent abortion. Most abortions take place because the partner that help created the baby did not encourage the mother. It takes two to make a
All humans from conception to death have the right to life, and should not have their life deprived by the hands of another human being. This statement raises the controversial subject of abortion, which has been a real-world ethical issue for a long period of time. Abortion can be defined as the discontinuation of a pregnancy, accompanied by the removal of an embryo or fetus from the mother’s womb. Abortion is a debatable topic in which every human being has different viewpoints on whether or not abortion should be acknowledged as morally right. Advocates of abortion are pro-life and believe that the morally right course of action is to follow through with the pregnancy to full-term and raise the child or give the child up for adoption. Supporters of abortion are pro-choice, in which they argue that every woman have the right to make their own life choices regarding her body.
Abortion is a conversational act that no one can seem to agree upon the long going argument dates to 1973 when “US Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision on Roe v. Wade declared the procedure a "fundamental right" (procon.org). Across America, the topic of abortion is still something that is regarded as taboo to speak about. Even today where it is more commonly brought up, the stigma surrounding the medical procedure has not gone away. There’s a rift between those who are pro-life and pro-choice, and each group has their own reasoning why or why not abortion should or should not be criminalized. The controversy about abortion is mainly rooted in the pro-life group believing that a fetus has the same rights as a born child and the mother. This stems into our government as well, where we have staunch republicans and democrats arguing back and forth over abortion. This also includes people who are incredibly religious and believe that it would go against Gods wishes, as humans are made in his image. Those who are pro-choice believe safe, legal abortions are a right and should be a readily available option to any woman who chooses to have one, no matter the circumstance. Abortion should be an option and that it should be a woman’s right whether to get one, and that she should be the only one to make that decision, not the government. There are many reasons why abortions should be an option, and some of those reasons are that they would help end surprise and unwanted pregnancy, end
Abortions are one of the many things that everyone has an opinion on. As defined by the 2012 Merriam-Webster dictionary, an Encyclopedia Britannica Company, an abortion is, “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus as a spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during the first 12 weeks of gestation-miscarriage, the induced expulsion of a human fetus, or the expulsion of a fetus by a domestic animal often due to infection at any time before completion of pregnancy.”
Abortion is one of the most controversial issues among the United States today. The two factions involved in this controversy are poles apart in their views on abortion, where as the pro-choice movement defends that a woman’s right to make a decision about abortion is absolute, the pro-life movement asserts that a fetus’s right to life is absolute. The argument has become very pronounced since the United States Supreme Court ruling in the year 1973 in Roe V. Wade, which legalized abortion. According to the ruling, a woman’s right to abortion exceeds the rights of a nonviable fetus and restricted the State intrusion. In addition to the fact that pro-choicers have always praised Roe for recognizing that a women’s right to have authority over her own body is more important than a fetus’s right to live. This idea is also supported by different organizations such as Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI) whose aim is “to protect the reproductive choices of all women and men in the United States and throughout the word.” (Alan, 1970) While some people believe that abortion is obscene, others argue that it is a woman’s right to have full control of her body.
